Trauma and PTSD
Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
When people hear "trauma" or "PTSD," they often think of major events like natural disasters or wars. However, symptoms of PTSD can arise from many other adverse experiences. Sometimes, it’s not just a single event but a series of challenges that sets PTSD in motion. Common symptoms include mood swings, feeling emotionally numb or disconnected, struggling in relationships, or having intense emotional reactions that don’t seem to match the situation.
It’s important to recognize that trauma affects everyone differently. For example, two people might experience the same event—like a car accident—but respond in completely different ways. One might bounce back quickly, while the other might need more time to heal. This range of responses is normal and valid.
Many people have encountered some form of trauma, though it can help to think of these experiences as “speed bumps” rather than defining them solely as trauma. Like speed bumps on the road, these moments encourage us to slow down, reassess, and move forward with care. Even when they catch us off guard or cause pain, they don’t have to stop us entirely.
The good news is that advances in therapeutic techniques have made recovery from trauma more accessible, faster, and more comfortable than ever before. By addressing the lingering effects and understanding individual responses, healing becomes not only possible but empowering.

Trauma and PTSD
Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been working with individuals who have trauma and PTSD for over 20 years. For many years this was my main focus and as a evidence-based therapist I learned many different ways of treatment and developed a hybrid approach that I taught to other therapist for years. I start by helping you reduce your symptoms, then if your willing we re-process your trauma and help you look at it in a different way by identifying what is your "stuck point" and working to move that along. That in itself can also reduce remaining symptoms. With what is left, I help you move forward with your remaining symptoms and do what make you happy, despite of your symptoms. It may make you anxious to do something but at the end of the day, the joy you felt makes it worth it. Again, remember, you would be doing this with much less anxiety than when you started therapy. This a is a proven approach that has worked with so many individuals with trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Kathy Gusenkov
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Trauma is defined as the charge that's left behind in the body after a completely overwhelming experience. Most folks have gone through something that has felt completely overwhelming that they didn't have the support to return to a sense of calmness after. If this is the case, how can your relationship NOT be affected by trauma in one way or another? Whether you have experienced trauma before your relationship or during it, together or separately, trauma may come into your dynamic and start wreaking havoc on your sense of togetherness, connection, and vision as a couple. When trauma interrupts a couple's relationship, it can be very easy for both partners to start working against each other and lose their sense of safety. It can also be really difficult for both partners to see each other for who they both really are instead of what the trauma fears or desperately hopes they are. Couple therapy with a trauma trained therapist addresses the impact of trauma on the relationship with sensitivity and care. If your relationship has been impacted by trauma, I can offer a secure environment for both partners to cultivate safety, sensitivity, care, and support towards each other at a pace that is determined by you. Relationship work is vulnerable; trauma work is vulnerable; relationship and trauma work at the same time?? That can feel SO scary. I get it. Let's go at your pace and focus on safety together. I will walk alongside you both as you learn to reclaim your relationship from the impact of trauma.
